    About this ebook

    Literature of Indian languages is a Bibliographical catalog of books, translations of the scriptures and other publications in the Indian tongues of the United States with brief critical notes. Schoolcraft talks about books and translations in the various dialects of a number of tribes from The Iroquois to the Algonquin; from the Appalachian to the Dacota, and the Sa-aptinic. Henry Rowe Schoolcraft (1793 – 1864) was an American geographer, geologist, and ethnologist noted for his early studies of Native American cultures and his 1832 expedition to the source of the Mississippi River. He is also noted for his major six-volume study of Native Americans published in the 1850s. He served as a United States Indian agent in Michigan for a period beginning in 1822. Schoolcraft worked for years on the history and survey of the Indian tribes of the United States.

      Table of Contents

      The Iroquois tribes had acquired the highest reputation in war and diplomacy, of all the Indian tribes of North America. At the time of the discovery, they were in the ascendant, and were rapidly consolidating their power under a system of confederacy, which had some striking traits resembling our own. Their language, viewed in its several dialects, was not so soft and flowing as that of their former rivals, the Algonquins or Adirondacks; but impressed the listener by its masculine and sonorous tone. It imparted a beauty to their geographical terminology, and helped to spread the fame of their deeds over Europe.

      Translations into this groupe of languages, were commenced at an early period. A part of the Service of the English Church was executed under the late Bishop Stewart of Canada, during the reign of Queen Anne. Sixteen separate works, all of modern date, however, have been received, of which, nine are in the Mohawk dialect, one in the Oneida, and six in the Seneca. Nothing has been received or is known to exist in the Onondaga, Cayuga, or Tuscarora. Ziesberger’s Dictionary of the Onondaga in MSS., is known to be deposited in the library of the American Philosophical Society, at Philadelphia.
